You know that old saying, "I'm so busy, I don't know if I've found a rope or lost my horse?".............well I'm about there......!!! (G) I know people with more on their plate than I have, but they seem to "Git 'er done" without whining.

I will be glad when the holidays are over. The Christmas' of my childhood no longer exist & I was disgusted this year to see the stores starting their banter & decorating before Halloween. Our youngest grandson is 22, so there is no little ones to work the magic on. I remember some of the methods my family used to make sure Santa was "alive & well" in my mind & appreciate all the effort, although I'm sure they enjoyed it as much as I did. In the case of my grandfather probably even more.

Sunday we will be going on 2 different home studies. One is for the foster home for Flora & Fauna. The woman needs some work done on her corral area & shelter, & a friend has offered to do the work, but needs to know what needs to be done. So we will take pictures & measurements to give him a little idea of what he will need to do.

We will also go check out a new home for C.J. the mini horse. A farrier we know in Tucson, got a little mini from a client that had been attacked by her dogs. The vet gave it a 50/50 chance, but it didn't make it. So he has been looking for another one ever since. Usually I wouldn't let her go out this soon, her nasty little feet have only been trimmed twice, but so far she is doing really good. Since we know him, he's a farrier & we have seen him work with animals, it should be a good home for her. I don't know how much room he has for her to move around. I think that is probably why she is improving so quickly, roaming around on 30 acres of "hill & dell" is exercising those legs & feet. So I hope he has enough room that I will be comfortable with her being there.

Monday we will be going down to Green Valley to Equine Voices to pick up a jenny they got in. She has been traumatized & Karen thought she might be more comfortable with donkeys. We haven't seen her, Karen says she is really cute, although I guess she is really swayback.

So if I don't get back to update for a few days that's why. I wish one & all a very Merry Christmas & a New Year that is the best one you've ever had.

About Me

My husband John, and I have a small private sanctuary for donkeys that needed a better home & for one reason or another would not be adoptable under normal circumstances. Some of our donkeys have physical or emotional problems. Some are old, many have ongoing medical problems that need daily attention. Every day with the donkeys is a learning process for me, & I would like to share these wonderful creatures with anyone that is interested.
